A Sense Of Wonder Has To Fuel Your Writing
Author: siggyA sense of wonder has to fuel your writing. You have to allow yourself to be surprised by the unexpected and unknown. And then be driven to write about your discoveries.
Writing about what you see and seeking to bridge the unknown and mystery is what fuels your writing. Trying to fathom what you do not understand and stretching yourself in the process forces growth.
Underlying all this is your sense of wonder. It comes and goes for most people. And you can’t be overly concerned if life appears static and dull. It will change again when you least expect it to.
You have to pay attention within and without. And have the patience to note the simple things occurring around you. Life is composed of many simple things. And miracles always occur around you.
You just have to pay attention. Your sense of wonder kindles your imagination and fuels your writing. It gives it power.

I agree whole-heartedly.
So much wonder and joy in each day leads to a vivid and creative mind. Writing is enhanced by this tremendously.

I said it before: in the words of Albert Einstein there are two ways to view the worlds. Either each day is a miracle or it is not. Not the exact words of his but it is the essence.
